Naomi Osaka merged athleticism and haute couture prowess with her custom Kevin Germanier tennis kit for her first round match at the 2026 French Open, Roland-Garros, on Tuesday in Paris.

“Designing Naomi Osaka’s upcycled Roland-Garros entrance look has been a true honor,” Germanier said in a statement to WWD.

“I wanted to celebrate her strength, individuality and athleticism, while ensuring that her first step onto the court felt just as powerful and unforgettable as her game. And since this is her first appearance since the Met Gala, we knew we had to make a statement.”

The Swiss couturier’s design reimagines Osaka’s Nike kits, serving as an official partner with the brand since 2019. Germanier’s custom tennis kit includes deconstructed variations on the tennis skirt, dress and jacket for new sartorial story.

Osaka’s entrance showcased the athlete clad in black, akin to a formal gown with sleeveless design and sparkling details throughout. Beneath the entrance look, Osaka revealed her official on-court kit in a dusty gold tone.

Details for the kit included a structured corset, crafted from her competition garments and designed with snap closures for a versatile look and feel. A cascading pleated skirt was created from the interior layers of her jacket, with each pleat hand-set to achieve movement and added dramatic flair.

Atop the structure of the design, each surface was lavished with Germanier’s embellishment techniques, with hundreds of hand-applied crystals creating prismatic light play across the corseted bodice. Beadwork also traced the tennis kits architectural seams.

Despite its ornate craftsmanship and intricacies, Osaka’s tennis kit is still functional, transitioning from an entrance look to a competition-ready uniform for the four-time Grand Slam champion.

The 2026 French Open, Roland-Garros, kicked off with first round matches on Saturday and concludes on June 7. American Coco Gauff seeks to defend her title as the women’s singles champion, while Jannik Sinner of Italy vies for his first French Open men’s singles title.
